In the end, it is not our products that matter, but rather what they can achieve in your specific area of application. Here, you will find the challenges and topics that are currently keeping us busy as well as examples of cases that we have already solved successfully.

Safety Hinge Switches on guards

Description

The "order picking from pallets" area is guarded with hard guards. To be able to enter this area in the event of a fault, a protective door, which is predominantly used by maintenance and repair personnel, is equipped with Safety Switches and corresponding separate actuators. Due to the sensitivity of the actuators and the employees' rough use of the doors, the actuators are often damaged after a short time. These devices have to be replaced every time. This is why an alternative, reliable and long-lasting solution was sought which would be easy to mount and would not be so easy to damage due to its robust design.

Solution

Now, the S400 Safety Hinge Switches are used in these cases. These Hinge Switches can be mounted in the traditional manner, i.e., similar to the previously used Safety Switches with actuator. They are extremely tamperproof after installation and during operation; "circumventing" the safety function is not possible. They are also characterized by high stability and a sturdy design which ensure high reliability in rough industrial environments and "harsh" treatment.
